Shirts - 3rd Eye

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here's two little shirts I created for 3rd Eye some time ago. Using the same idea, you could create tea towels, aprons or similar used as a Christmas present.

I used both stamps and chipboard shapes in these. In the pink, butterfly one, I first stamped with a butterfly chipboard shape using fabric paint. I mounted the chippie on a piece of wood using foam squares and then used it like a stamp. After the first set of butterflies had dried, I then added two large ones using the butterfly stamp and VersaCraft color. I colored the butterflies slightly using fabric markers and a touch of white fabric paint.

In the white and blue one I again used first a chipboard shape to stamp. This time I used a feather mounting it the same way on a piece of wood. I stamped the images kind of falling down from the other shoulder towards the hem. After the paint had dried, I drew a few details to the feather using a fabric marker and then stamped the text with VersaCraft.

After the paint and ink had dried, I ironed the shirts to heat set the paints to the fabric. Also, while working, remember to insert something inside the shirt to prevent the paint to bleed through the other side.

Are all your present already done? I still need to finish a few! Have a lovely day!
